I replaced the Thermostat, Value Cover Gaskets and did Value Adjustment trying to stop engine noise/clatter in my 2007 Tsx but it turned out to be a bad waterpump. Pretty Solid Car for 220k Miles, had the timing chain inspected after 50k miles driving and its in almost perfect condition.

[@EXccord]

As long as you keep up with your regular oil changes, the timing chain will be perfectly fine from what i have learned. I too am having a clattering noise from that area and have gotten 199k out of my original water pump. Being proactive and doing ac condenser (AC keeps failing and now its leaking...condenser is bent on the bottom somehow), radiator, hoses, thermostat, and lastly water pump.

The water pump gasket needs no sealant. I use blue painter's tape to hold the fastener in the socket. Nice work!

[@vicentehernandez1017]

your Video is really helps thank you very much

[@jehu5279]

Good tip with that silicone, it's annoying when bolts keeping falling off, I'll be using this technique

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Yeah. Its a great tip to use

[@DoomedZ]

The power steering part is unnecessary, just unbolt and move out of the way.
Other than that great video!

[@joeycastro8591]

So I was watching you video and the one thing you didn't say was how long did the job take you

[@JaboTheMechanic]

It took me 1hr20mins. I believe it quotes 3hrs for the job

[@pabloslife2920]

Why is the small hose coming out of the left side of the engine look like it’s leaking? Mine has that too should I be worried?

[@orlandokings4844]

Would it help to remove the wheel to get a better angle??

[@MrBchott]

It's good to use silicone at time but in cases where the mounting plate is clean u don't need it

[@JaboTheMechanic]

Thanks. Its just my over cautiousness

[@danbritto4964]
